Published October 24, 2018

President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi are expected to meet during the G20 Summit in Buenos Aires next month, but White House trade advisor Peter Navarro downplayed the significance of the meeting. Navarro said its “not a trade negotiation by any means.” Meanwhile, a key Chinese government official met with a U.S. delegation Tuesday, saying China never wants to be in a trade war. Political leader Zhang Qingli blamed Trump for the trade war and said China would not back down.
